IZAKAYA TAMAKO

By now, your head’s spin­ning and your belly’s aching for some grub. So stum­ble into Con­corde Ho­tel and muster up the en­ergy to find this bois­ter­ous hole-in-the-wall. Izakaya Tamako is a cosy – read: tiny – Ja­panese bar that’s big on hos­pi­tal­ity. The host­ess typ­i­cally plies you with Sap­poro, sake, soju or mak­ge­olli, while the yak­i­tori man is glad to play drink­ing games with you while flip­ping skew­ers on the grill. (Head’s up: you’ll lose.) #02-37 Con­corde Ho­tel Shop­ping Cen­tre, 100 Or­chard Rd (6887 5638,face­book.com/ iza­kay­ata­mako). Dhoby Ghaut. Mon-Sat 6.30pm-2am.
